ACEVES AVILA, Roberto. The cult to san Gonzalo de Amarante, 'the Dancer'. Local religiosity in 19th-century Guadalajara. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2016, vol.37, n.145, pp.109-150. ISSN 2448-7554.
Devotions and cults to different saints reflect needs that originate at the local level. One such case is the devotion to San Gonzalo de Amarante in 19th-century Guadalajara, in which believers characteristically danced before the saint's image as a means of procuring protection from disease. Though prohibited with the aid of the Holy Inquisition in 1816 in several regions of the country, evidence indicates its survival in Guadalajara into the second half of the 19th century.
